Open research question
What primary burial registers, municipal records or archaeological data survive that could refine the estimated number and identities of people interred in the Washington Square potter's field?
A source, research note, or further-reading link closes this question when staff accept it. Evidence and corrections stay attached for staff and do not close it by themselves.
Staff review every contribution before it is added to the file. A correction is a proposal: accepting it does not replace the official record. Rejected items are handled like rejected case submissions.
